Dalton, Robert
Canadian Review of Art Education: Research and Issues, v23 n2 p20-42 1997
Criticizes the growing practice of using children's art in the service of political causes. Discusses a recent exhibit that included Iraqi children's art in support of the Intifada and in condemnation of Israel. Questions the ethics of this for art educators and its effectiveness as political persuasion. (MJP)
